  2. [04:43.57] * infiniteMotion is now known as Jason
  3. [04:46.55] <~myto_alkoreath> JASON and JOSH: You find yourselves in THE MOST EXCITING FANTASY SETTING EVER: a line in a customs processing building. It appears that the universe has another constant after Death and Taxes, the goddamn TSA. You wait in line there with your guide, Jiāyú Wēn. Well, she's not really in the line. You sort of get the feeling that whatever organization she is a part of basically
  4. [04:46.56] <~myto_alkoreath> runs this place, as workers pass her with a nod of deference
  5. [04:48.22] * Jason cannot say he's spectacularly thrilled to be part of this. Standing around, shirtless, with a bare sword in hand, looking like a horrifying vagrant degenerate that parents warn their children about. "Well," he finally says, nudging Josh with an elbow, "At least we don't have much to search. Hope they're not into random cavity checks."
  6. [04:49.24] <~Josh> "Please don't even joke about that, i had nightmares of it before i took the plane back to my parents in december" he chuckles nervously
  7. [04:50.21] * Jason laughs. "Aw man, seriously? Haha, sorry to bring up a sensitive issue... But naw, you actually don't need to worry about that so much. When they pull you aside they just pat you down in detail, they don't like take you in the back and start tunneling in you or anything." He trails off as he laughs, observing the people ahead of them in line at length.
  8. [04:51.07] <~Josh> "nah, not really sensitive about it, just... nervously making talk?"
  9. [04:51.27] * Josh definitly seems to have not quite gotten comfortable here as of yet
  10. [04:51.58] <~myto_alkoreath> Thankfully, though the line is long, you seem to be getting fast tracked, with a few looks from Jiayu resulting in a few seemingly quite convenient line swaps, and soon you each find yourselves in front of a sort of Customs official. A heavy set woman, bored out of her skull, looks up at you. You're obviously arriving near the end of her work day. She at least attempts to present
  11. [04:51.58] <~myto_alkoreath> a smile, and in a droning voice begins to ask you questions
  12. [04:52.43] <~myto_alkoreath> "Welcome to Ashimachi, the city of Reeds, what is the purpose of your visit? Tourism or citizenship?"
  13. [04:52.59] <~myto_alkoreath> She clearly is not very enthused as she says this
  14. [04:53.42] <~Josh> "Uh... tourism?" Josh says looking at Wen to make sure, he's never been awesome with this sort of stuff and it shows
  15. [04:54.41] <~myto_alkoreath> Wen curtly nods as the clerk stamps a file, obviously fine with your non-commital answer
  16. [04:54.45] * Jason clears his throat. As luck would have it, conducting polite and/or official business is a strength of his. "Tourism," he follows. "Though citizenship may be a possibility in the future."
  17. [04:55.55] <~myto_alkoreath> "Whatever, Tourism it is, less paperwork for me. Please surrender any belongings into the provided receptacle for a thourough inspection by one of our *esteemed* offiials"
  18. [04:56.15] <~myto_alkoreath> "We are not liable for any damaged incurred"
  19. [04:56.52] <~myto_alkoreath> She gestures to a rusty metal trough next to her station
  20. [04:57.15] * Jason gives a curt nod. "Thank you for your time," he says, with the utmost courtesy, heading down and placing the sword - his only possession - in the trough.
  21. [04:57.42] * Josh does the same with his sword, The 17 Branches Sword
  22. [04:58.49] <~myto_alkoreath> An official walks over, grabs the items, and carries them away, deeper into the building
  23. [04:59.14] <~myto_alkoreath> "You will receive your belongings as you exit, please remember what is yours"
  24. [04:59.42] <~Josh> "...man its jsut like the airport"
  25. [05:00.34] <~myto_alkoreath> "Please proceed to the next station"
  26. [05:01.36] * Jason chuckles. "Mm, it is pretty reminiscent of it... Come to think of it, I haven't taken a flight since like... What, 2008ish? Something like that anyways." He gestures for Josh to follow along as he heads over to the next signpost. "This is a big city, huh? Kinda reminds me of when I went to Rome actually, the way everything's so tightly packed."
  27. [05:02.26] * Josh heds with "It's... wierd, I haven't traveled much, so it's crazy tos ee this entire different style of architecture"
  28. [05:02.55] <~myto_alkoreath> As you proceed through a blistering gauntlet of stations, each staffed by an even less enthused clerk, you fill out a variety of questionnaires, get patted down at least a dozen times, and finally reach the final station. There, a young man, impeccably dressed, likely a new hire, proffers you a familiar metal trough. Inside are your swords
  29. [05:03.18] <~myto_alkoreath> He also hands you each a hanger with a green placard
  30. [05:04.04] * Jason is the very model of a visitor, accepting the placard first with both hands and then picking up the broadsword. He inspects the placard briefly, giving another nod. "Thank you."
  31. [05:04.25] <~myto_alkoreath> "These have been magically encoded with your information. Do not lose these, do not trade these, and always wear these and keep them visible"
  32. [05:04.28] * Josh imitates IM
  33. [05:04.36] <~Josh> "Yes sir"
  34. [05:04.57] <~myto_alkoreath> "If you are found without your placard, you will be ejected from the city, and any reentrance will be unlikely"
  35. [05:05.07] <Jason> "Understood."
  36. [05:05.19] <~myto_alkoreath> "Very well. Enjoy the city."
  37. [05:05.46] <~myto_alkoreath> He looks away, back to his paperwork as he gestures towards a door, bathed in outside light
  38. [05:06.07] <~myto_alkoreath> God, you've been doing this for a while, even with Jiayu's help
  39. [05:06.33] * Josh follows a bit edgy, this kinda stuff alwasy makes him fidgety, might be the adhd
  40. [05:06.34] * Jason glances toward the door, hooking the placard around his neck and... Well, no, it's not exactly going to be hard to keep in plain sight seeing as he's shirtless. "Not gonna be daylight for much longer," he comments, looking for Jiayu as he and Josh head for the exit.
  41. [05:07.41] <~myto_alkoreath> Jiayu has been standing close this entire time, and motions for you to follow as you leave
  42. [05:07.50] * Frederick (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-jaelp2.res.rr.com) has joined channel #Phaedraproblems
  43. [05:07.57] * Josh follows a bit more at ease as they leave customs
  44. [05:08.30] <~myto_alkoreath> "Welcome to Ashimachi, the city of Reeds. Watch your step, and follow close. I don't want you two to get lost on the way, this ity is big"

  51. [05:10.57] * Josh mumbles "Yeah..." as he looks around
  52. [05:12.06] <~myto_alkoreath> You step out onto the city streets, and if you were not wowed by the exterir of the city, you certainly are now. A large statue and fountain stand in the middle of a large square, seemingly made of solide, single pieces of glass.

  54. [05:12.06] <~Josh> "Woooooooah that's pretty" Josh says immediatly making a beeline for it
  55. [05:12.28] * Jason gives a low whistle. "... Man, it's one thing to visit like... A city that started in ancient times? It's another to be standing right in the middle of it." His eyes are wide as he takes in the sight; the waning daylight makes every corner of the streets so much more dramatic. Not to mention the glass. He follows after at a trot.

  59. [05:15.12] <myto_backup> Dotted aroud the square are a variety of street vendors, hawking what look to be very expensive and exotic goods

  62. [05:16.06] <~myto_alkoreath> These merchants are likely attempting to capitalise on the initial wow factor suckering in buyers for their wares
  63. [05:16.33] * Josh is to busy approaching and staring at GLASS STATUE
  64. [05:16.45] * Josh is literally walking all around it and admiring it
  65. [05:16.48] * MobileDmntt (ReasonableDaemo@ARG-zOmBiE-l3ktra.us.northamericancoax.com) has joined channel #Phaedraproblems
  66. [05:16.59] <~myto_alkoreath> To the right of the square is a large building. Much more mishmash than the surrounding ones, it seems likely that this building amlgamated and absorbed its neighbors as it grew over time

  68. [05:17.26] * Jason 's kind of having a look round at everything - fact is, he's got nothing but a pair of pants and a sword to his name so his bargaining power..? Nonexistent. "Jesus that's insane. I never really gave 'magic architecture' much thought."
  69. [05:18.00] <~myto_alkoreath> Jiayu notices your interest in the statue and walks over to you

  74. [05:22.09] <~Josh> "I've never seen a statue like this before"
  75. [05:22.16] <mobile_myto> "He died defending what would become this square from a roving bandit clan"
  76. [05:22.39] <~Josh> "Wow..."
  77. [05:23.11] <mobile_myto> "The people he saved, and the second Shigun gathered the glass the bandits had in their treasure trove and wove this statue with it"
  78. [05:23.27] <mobile_myto> "So he would always stand his watch"
  79. [05:24.05] <mobile_myto> She kneels and pays some quick respects befire rising again
  80. [05:24.24] * Josh smiles a little "A nice story"
  81. [05:25.08] <mobile_myto> "Come, follow me. And stay close"

  84. [05:25.37] * Josh nods and follows
  85. [05:25.42] * Jason thinks for a while, two and two coming together in his head as he turns to follow Jiayu. "You said the bandits had glass in their treasure trove? What was the significance of it?" he asks.
  86. [05:26.03] <mobile_myto> She turns and leads you through the throngs of people, out through an archway and onto what seems to be central causeway

  89. [05:27.13] <mobile_myto> "Glass is precious, the remanants of the union of lightning and sand"
  90. [05:28.10] * Jason recalls the carvings on the giant fallen tree, nodding. It's not hard to figure out why. "Gotcha. It's a special kind of glass, no?" Presumably so - a special kind of lightning for sure.

  96. [05:31.19] <mobile_myto> She hurries ahead, as the causeway meets with a small intersection
  97. [05:31.38] <~Josh> "Right but.... It's getting late, would uhm... the Shogun appreciate us bothering him at this hour?
  98. [05:31.58] * Jason shoots a glance Josh's way. Oh jesus, meet ... That escalated /quickly/. Josh pipes up first, with Jason following shortly after, "Errrr, plus I mean we're not exactly dressed to meet an official..."
  99. [05:32.20] <mobile_myto> Standing on an ornate pedastal near the center stands an overweight, bejeweled preacher
  100. [05:32.52] <mobile_myto> "We will have better clothes for you when we reach the compound..."
  101. [05:33.03] <mobile_myto> She swears under her breath
  102. [05:33.09] <mobile_myto> "Not now..."
  103. [05:33.40] <mobile_myto> The preacher begins to address the people, who move in closer, blocking your path onwards
  104. [05:34.29] <myto_backup> "People of our fairest city of Reeds, I call on you to organize!"
  105. [05:35.03] <myto_backup> "Soon, a new law shall be passed that shall bring about a new age of enlightenment and peace to our fair city!"
  106. [05:35.29] <myto_backup> "Soon shall our Prophet stand supreme, sheperding us with his waking breath!"
  107. [05:35.50] <myto_backup> "But there are those who would stand against us!"
  108. [05:35.59] * Jason gives a good-natured huff as Jiayu curses, looking towards the showman and putting on a smirk. "Cities. Cities never change."
  109. [05:36.24] <myto_backup> "Those who would see our dream lie unfullfilled"
  110. [05:36.58] <myto_backup> "The Kaminari, the /Chains/ seek to do what any chain would do, and restrain you from true happiness!"
  111. [05:37.00] * Josh stares, a bit uncomfortable, this smells STRONGLY of cult"
  112. [05:37.01] <&Logan> (( did u just ))
  113. [05:38.18] <myto_backup> "I ask you to join with me tomorrow morning, AND MARCH WITH ME TO SHOW THE YI OF THE SUPPORT THE PROPHET HAS IN OUR FAIR CITY!"
  114. [05:38.34] <myto_backup> He raises his arms, and a cheer rises through the crowd
  115. [05:38.52] * Josh whispers to Wen "Hey uh... whats going on?"
  116. [05:39.21] <myto_backup> She whispers back to you as the preacher continues to rile up the crowd
  117. [05:41.03] <myto_backup> "An adherent of the Dreamswallowers, an increasingly powerful organization in the city. They seek to establish total control. Like the Shogun would ever let them do so. Our organizations do not agree on a very fundamental level"
  118. [05:41.11] <myto_backup> Roll notice

  121. [05:41.51] <Aksa> You rolled a raw 64

  126. [05:42.17] <Aksa> Josh: your total is 46
  127. [05:42.34] * Jason thinks back on what Zef had told them outside the city. Not that he remembered the whole spiel; there's an awful lot going on after all.
  128. [05:42.41] <~myto_alkoreath> Josh: You notice nothing
  129. [05:43.10] <~myto_alkoreath> Jason: You notice... a glint? It was only a flash, but something in the crowd glinted
  130. [05:43.27] * Jason raises a hand, stopping in his tracks suddenly. "W-wait, hang on a second."
  131. [05:44.47] <~Josh> "What?"
  132. [05:44.47] <~myto_alkoreath> Wen looks at you quizzically
  133. [05:44.47] * Jason stops and squints. After an hour or two of being forced to work with it, his nearsightedness isn't QUITE as bad as he remembered - but it's still there. He tries to focus on where he saw the glint.
  134. [05:44.49] <Jason> "Hn... You know what, it could've been..."
  135. [05:44.58] <~Josh> "What?"
  136. [05:45.18] <~myto_alkoreath> It was in the crowd, around hand level... like a knife?
  137. [05:46.30] * Josh hisses lowly, a little on edge now "Jason what was it?"
  138. [05:48.37] * Editanon is now known as Editanon_afk
  139. [05:48.41] * Jason clears his throat, beginning to move again - but slowly. Fact is, his vision's an unreliable witness. He knows that. "... Dunno. Somebody might be fixin' to stab dude," he says, swiftly becoming the very model of apathy as he shoves his free hand into a pocket and continues on.
  140. [05:49.01] <~myto_alkoreath> Wen looks at you
  141. [05:49.09] <~myto_alkoreath> "Wha-"
  142. [05:49.28] <~myto_alkoreath> Suddenly, a commotion breaks out near the center of the crowd
  143. [05:49.39] <~Josh> "Where?"
  144. [05:50.03] <~myto_alkoreath> A dozen hooded men have formed a circle around a now very visibly terrified preacher
  145. [05:50.22] * Josh s finger twitches and you see a slight sky blue glow pulse down his fingers
  146. [05:50.44] <~myto_alkoreath> Knives drawn, the crowd falls into fearful silence as Wen swears and reaches for her sword
  147. [05:51.32] <~myto_alkoreath> Another man grabs him from behind, putting a knife to his throat. He calls out to the crowd
  148. [05:51.52] <~Josh> how far away is he
  149. [05:52.05] * Jason continues walking, voice deadpan as he speaks, "You said your factions were opposed, right?" he says, addressing Wen indirectly.
  150. [05:52.32] <~myto_alkoreath> Josh: About 50 feet
  151. [05:52.46] <~Josh> "Jason I'm about to do something really stupid, cover me"
  152. [05:53.05] * Josh begins trying to push throught the crowd, not all the way to the front, just 20 feet
  153. [05:53.18] <&Logan> (( o-o ))
  154. [05:53.30] <~myto_alkoreath> Wen looks towards Jason, but before she says anything, you hear the hooded man call out "Genosse Kreuger schickt seine Grüße!"
  155. [05:53.34] * Jason halts his steps, giving a grunt. "... Welp. So much for that idea," he says to himself, turning to follow Josh with his eyes.
  156. [05:54.22] <~Josh> ((let me know if i move 20 feet, so that I'm 30ft away))
  157. [05:54.32] <~myto_alkoreath> Josh: They are too terrified to resist. You get 20 feet in, but you have about a scant few seconds before the preacher dies
  158. [05:54.39] <~myto_alkoreath> What do you do?
  159. [05:54.48] * Josh uses [Whiplas]
  160. [05:54.55] <~Josh> *[Whiplash]
  161. [05:55.14] <~Josh> the man directly threatening the preacher must make a notice check
  162. [05:55.41] <~myto_alkoreath> He is incredibly distracted by his task at hand so

  165. [05:56.00] * Jason tightens his grip around the hilt of his sword, suddenly shouting aloud - and man, can he ever shout loud. "ON THE GROUND, IF YOU DON'T WANNA DIE!" He bolts forward - aiming to charge headlong into the center of the circle.
  166. [05:56.13] <~Josh> I end up both behind him and he's at surprise due to the suddeness

  206. [05:59.35] <~myto_alkoreath> Crit!
  207. [05:59.46] <~myto_alkoreath> Please describe how you murderise him
  208. [06:02.14] <~Josh> it takes less than a second, less than a breath, but Josh dissapears, leaving an afterimage, the next thing anyone in the crowd see's, as the man brings a knife up to kill the man, Suddenly Josh is there, half suspended in midair, his blade ablaze with blue energy, there is a flash,and He lands, and a second later blood flashes from the wound
  209. [06:05.01] <~myto_alkoreath> His compatriots weigh their options against the man who just bisected their boss, and the crazy man with the with the sword charging them, look at their knives, drop them and take off into the now fleeing crowd, dissapearing as quickly as they appeared
  210. [06:05.45] <~Josh> "Yeah you better run!"
  211. [06:06.09] * Jason 's got this crazed berserker look in his eyes - in his head he'd been going through this whole deal about how at a certain point in his life he'd decided to stop fighting so much... And... Damn it! "Awwww c'mon!" he shouts, throwing his arms up in the air. Not a second passes before he starts collecting all the knives on the ground.
  212. [06:06.09] * Josh shouts, he is feeling AWESOME, like holy shit the adrenaline, he's felt nothing like it, the EXCITEMENT
  213. [06:06.57] <~myto_alkoreath> The preacher whimpers, throughly soaked in the blood and gore of the now dead man who tried to kill him
  214. [06:07.01] <~Josh> /me is still sorta hopping, grinning, but than he looks downa t the man,a nd the grin starts to fade, and he gets pale, "Oh shit"
  215. [06:07.33] * Josh turns tot he preacher, in a desperate attempt to not look at the corpse "H-heya re you ok?"
  216. [06:08.24] <~myto_alkoreath> He looks at you, the man who just FREAKING TELEPORTED AND BISECTED A MAN AN INCH AWAY FROM KILLING HIM, and takes off down the street screaming and crying
  217. [06:08.52] * Jason 's stomach twists once or twice when he sees the steaming - literally /steaming/ - bloody mess spilling and splashing and generally making a huge fucking mess out of the paving, but he swallows it with admirable stoicism and heads over with a fitsful of daggers. He fashions a little carry bundle out of the dead dude's shirt, checking the body for ->
  218. [06:09.08] <Jason> valuables. "That was a good kill. I was pretty much positive preacher dude was gonna eat it."
  219. [06:09.26] <~myto_alkoreath> Jiayu walks up, bemused at the screaming preacher as he passes
  220. [06:09.39] <~Josh> "...way to thank a guy" he says nervously "T-thanks. I don't regret it, but fuck if it's an off feeling"
  221. [06:11.03] <~myto_alkoreath> "Indeed, that very nearly got worse. Our visit with the Shogun will be delayed though. You two should get out of here, I can deal with the guards, but they might question the two Ji who just stopped an assaination an hour into their visit"
  222. [06:11.22] <Jason> (( Psst Ji are declared citizens-to-be! ))
  223. [06:11.39] <~myto_alkoreath> (My bad, got the term mixed up))
  224. [06:11.51] <~myto_alkoreath> She actually totally said visitors
  225. [06:12.01] <~myto_alkoreath> Anyone who says differently is /lying/
  226. [06:12.02] <Jason> (( All good! It's actually even worse for us... Visitors have basically 0 rights, Ji have limited rights, citizens have full rights. XD ))
  227. [06:12.22] <~myto_alkoreath> She passes you a few coins, they appaear to be made of the same glass as the fountain from before
  228. [06:12.39] <Zef> ((this is why too dense of a specialized vocabulary is problematic XD))
  229. [06:12.49] <Jason> (( It's one word. o_O ))
  230. [06:13.22] * Jason clears his throat. His hands are fucking /covered/ in blood, as he ties off the bloody-ass little pouch of knives he collected. "Hm. Yeah, you know what? This was probably not the best course of action. But, uh, I bet you that guy's gonna have an awesome day tomorrow. The best day." Very Fight Club.
  231. [06:13.39] * Jason looks to Wen, leaving Josh to collect the coin. "Where should we go exactly?"
  232. [06:13.44] <~myto_alkoreath> "There's a small cafe just down that street there. Buy yourselves something to eat and meet me back here in about an hour, I'll have this sorted by then"
  233. [06:13.56] <~myto_alkoreath> Jiayu also hands you a puch of water
  234. [06:14.15] <~myto_alkoreath> "Best you wash off a bit first, best not attract too much attention"
  235. [06:14.23] <~myto_alkoreath> ((pouch of water))
  236. [06:15.17] * Josh nods nervously, taking the coins and than looks to his blade, which he just realizes has sort of... rolled the blood of it, like oil on water "Huh..."
  237. [06:15.23] * Jason clears his throat, crouching down and doing his level best to wipe his hands off on the dead dude's pant legs. "Right. Uh... I guess we'll see you."
  238. [06:15.41] <~Josh> "Hey uh, are there any inn's or anythign we can find?"
  239. [06:16.13] <~myto_alkoreath> "There's an inn just past the cafe, why?"
  240. [06:16.36] <~Josh> "Because we need a place to stay while everything cools down?"
  241. [06:17.51] <~myto_alkoreath> "Fair enough."
  242. [06:17.59] <~myto_alkoreath> She tosses you a pouch of the coins
  243. [06:18.12] <~myto_alkoreath> "Don't spend it all"
  244. [06:18.32] * Josh nods and tries to slip off in the crowd,s till VERY pale
  245. [06:18.46] <~myto_alkoreath> Jason: Follows to CAFE?
  246. [06:18.48] * Jason eyeballs the money, and how lenient Jiayu is with dispensing it. Right. He stands up, using the water to rinse his hands off and drinking some. "Right. We'll see you soon," he says, darting away after Josh.
  247. [06:19.05] * Jason says, on the way, "Am I the only one who's tempted to forego food and see what's at the market?"
  248. [06:19.52] <~Josh> "I... don't have much an appetite myself"
  249. [06:20.24] * Josh you notice is just sorta... walking, like, its almost as if he isnt reallys eeing whats in front of him
  250. [06:20.34] * Josh jsut keeps going as if it's the only thing he can do
  251. [06:20.39] <~myto_alkoreath> Proceed to... MARKET?
  252. [06:20.44] * Josh keeps walking, almost like a man possesed
  253. [06:20.47] * Jason pats Josh on the back. He's obviously reeling pretty hard from what he just did. "Hey. Listen man, you did good. That was the best way that could have ended. Don't think about it too much."
  254. [06:21.08] <Jason> "... Let's go shopping."
  255. [06:21.38] <~Josh> "Y-yeah" calming down from the physical assurace "Yeah you're right"
  256. [06:23.09] <Jason> (( [s] Josh: Try not to think about it. +http://listenonrepeat.com/?v=zNd4apsr3WE#Undertale_OST%3A_063_-_It_s_Raining_Somewhere_Else, ))
  257. [06:23.26] <~myto_alkoreath> You fid yourselves outside what appears to be a blacksmith's shop, still open
  258. [06:23.44] <~Josh> ((oh man that's perfect, totally put that on the doc X))
  259. [06:23.51] <~Josh> ((*XD))
  260. [06:24.35] <~myto_alkoreath> The sign says "Johan's"
  261. [06:25.03] * Jason glances at his bloody bag of knives, shaking his head. "I have a funny feeling we're gonna be the talk of the town. Like, real soon. But... Fuck it," he declares, heading on into the shop. "Ahoy ahoy!"
  262. [06:25.59] * Josh just follows for now
  263. [06:26.27] <~myto_alkoreath> You open the door and stroll in. Racks upon racks of weapons line the walls, all obviously bear the same marks of forging, likely most made in house. Along the back wall are a few crude mannequins with chainmail draped over them
  264. [06:27.23] <~myto_alkoreath> A large, muscular man, presumably named Johan, looks up from his work polishing a masive greatsword, it gleams in the light
  265. [06:27.55] <~myto_alkoreath> "Hello, welcome to my shop. Are you heere to browse, or to place an order?"
  266. [06:28.24] <~myto_alkoreath> He deep and booming voice really does not jive with the lines of a store greeter
  267. [06:28.52] * Frederick (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-jaelp2.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: +http://www.mibbit.com, ajax IRC Client)
  268. [06:28.57] * Jason clears his throat. "Good evening!" he greets, doing his level best to charm things away from the fact that he is topless, bloody, and carrying a bare sword and a bloody bundle made from what looks like a torn shirt. Holy fucking god this adventure is off to a good start. "Is everything in the shop spoken for?"
  269. [06:29.28] * Frederick (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-jaelp2.res.rr.com) has joined channel #Phaedraproblems
  270. [06:29.47] <~myto_alkoreath> "Anything on display is for sale. All orders are kept in the back"
  271. [06:30.14] <~myto_alkoreath> He chuckles warmly
  272. [06:31.08] <~myto_alkoreath> "Feel free to browse, test the heft of anything you like. I'll just be in the back if you need anything"
  273. [06:31.11] * Jason nods. "Never hurts to make sure," he says, rather pleased at the dude's general manner. Seems like a good dude. "Well! I was looking to sell off all of these," he says, approaching the counter and laying everything out - untying the shirt to reveal the collection of knives. "And maybe pick something up more suited to my taining."
  274. [06:31.17] <Jason> (( Err, training rather. ))
  275. [06:31.28] <~myto_alkoreath> His face narrows
  276. [06:32.04] <~myto_alkoreath> "Hmm, these are good knives. These from that scuffle upstreet I hear about?"
  277. [06:33.21] <~myto_alkoreath> He examines one closely, testing its balance and quality carefully before returning it to the rest
  278. [06:35.00] * Jason has a look at them - honestly, he hadn't looked earlier. "Not much of a scuffle," he says, remarking mentally on the dude's staying so calm but not letting on about it at all. "Some folk tried to make an attempt on a street preacher's life. My friend stopped it and the rest ran scared." A pause. "That weapon you're working on there, may I see that one?"
  279. [06:36.15] <~myto_alkoreath> He looks at the knives, and down to the sword, then back to you, sizing you up
  280. [06:37.11] <~myto_alkoreath> "You know your way around a two-hander like this?""
  281. [06:37.20] * Josh is staying quiet, but the color's coming back to his cheeks
  282. [06:38.45] * Jason shifts his jaw, apparently a little on the fence about it himself. "I am trained in two-handed sword, but- Mm, how do I put this... I come from a nation that hasn't crossed swords in several hundred years. What I trained with was a gentleman's weapon. That seems like a proper weapon of war."
  283. [06:39.00] <Jason> "Might like to see how the lessons translate."
  284. [06:39.58] <~myto_alkoreath> "He nods off to a corner, oviosuly set aside for testing out weapons. a few straw training dummies have been set up
  285. [06:40.09] <~myto_alkoreath> He hands you the gigantic blade
  286. [06:40.58] * Jason accepts it. In truth, the weapon is quite literally a head taller than he is. Which is kind of hilarious to watch, but he heads on over to the dummies and rolls the weapon between his hands, checking its weight and point of balance.
  287. [06:41.24] <~myto_alkoreath> "Then translate. Impress me, and the sword is your in exchange for your daggers. I'll even throw in the harness and an old cloth shirt so you can be a bit more decent"
  288. [06:42.14] <~myto_alkoreath> Jason: The blade seems near perfectly balanced in your hands, like you've been wielding them all your life. Its... odd"
  289. [06:42.19] * Jason 's eyebrows hop. "That's a bold offer," he says, offhandedly, "I might be in the market for a breastplate or something like that as well. Seems a little extra protection would be good in a city with all these knife-wielding maniacs."
  290. [06:43.35] <~myto_alkoreath> "Hmm, I think I might have a breastplate in your size in my cellar. But we can haggle over that after you demonstrate. Now, let loose"
  291. [06:43.48] * Jason draws in a slow breath. It's exactly what he thought it would be -- the transformation that occurred when his vessels were awakened made the translation perfect: he begins to 'warm up' with a basic flow drill, then at the end of the dummies cranks the blade upward in a deflecting parry and pounces across all three, swinging a lightning-fast horizontal->
  292. [06:44.14] * Jason strike that would well cleave all three dummies in half. And maybe part of the wall too, since he's unused to the extra reach.
  293. [06:44.29] <~myto_alkoreath> Roll Attack
  294. [06:44.51] * Jason burns up a little fatigue (2) 'cause hey - he's trying to impress the guy.
  295. [06:45.02] <Jason> ^roll 1d100+130
  296. [06:45.02] <Aksa> You rolled a raw 92
  297. [06:45.02] <Aksa> Open! Open rolled a 31
  298. [06:45.02] <Aksa> Jason: your total is 253
  299. [06:45.48] <~Josh> (See! Aksa loves you when it matters!))
  300. [06:46.04] <~myto_alkoreath> You proceed to bisect all three dummies and cut a small notch through the wall, but you complete your maneuver, and the sword hasn't even been niced despite the whole wall cutting
  301. [06:46.15] <~myto_alkoreath> *nicked
  302. [06:46.44] <~myto_alkoreath> Johan looks incredibly impressed
  303. [06:47.08] * Jason turns sharply and with military precision, bringing the extra-long blade to his left side as though sheathed at his side. From there he turns the flat up, draws it across his body to where the point lines up with his eyes, and steps back into a stance, sweeping the blade to his right. A salute.
  304. [06:47.27] <Jason> "... Hell of a blade. You do good work. I'm Jason, by the way."
  305. [06:47.46] <~myto_alkoreath> "If only half my customers could wield my work like you. Johan"
  306. [06:48.07] * Josh whistles "Hooooly shit"
  307. [06:48.18] <~Josh> "I didn't realize you were that good wow"
  308. [06:48.31] <~myto_alkoreath> "Tell you what, I'll throw in the breastplate on top if you promise to pass any orders for equipment you need in the future to me"
  309. [06:48.52] <~myto_alkoreath> "I can tell you will be going places"
  310. [06:49.12] * Jason laughs. "Ah, well. Like I said, I'm from a peacetime nation... I have the privilege of pursuing studies like swordsmanship without fear." He paces back to the counter, laying the greatsword upon it, and thinks about it for... Well, I mean, all of a split second. "Deal." He looks back to Josh. "Come to think of it, you could probably use some protective->
  311. [06:49.15] * Jason gear too, huh?"
  312. [06:49.50] <~Josh> "Ah uh... I guess? Armor makes it hard to move though..."
  313. [06:50.19] <~myto_alkoreath> Johan looks pensive for a moment, then speaks
  314. [06:50.40] <~myto_alkoreath> "We'll sort out your friend in the moment, excuse me while I retrieve the breastpate
  315. [06:50.55] <~myto_alkoreath> He turns and walks away into the back of the shop
  316. [06:51.10] <~myto_alkoreath> SUDDENLY
  317. [06:51.12] * Jason turns to look at Josh again, smiling crookedly. "There we go, got a little color back in your face. How're you holding up man?"
  318. [06:51.26] <~myto_alkoreath> BGM: +https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBWumMgqu8M,
  319. [06:51.40] <~Josh> "I'm... better. I did what needed to be done"
  320. [06:51.47] <~myto_alkoreath> The door flies open, practically kicked off its hinges
  321. [06:51.48] <~Josh> "I... I just need to keep telling myself that"
  322. [06:51.51] <~Josh> "I saved a life"
  323. [06:52.09] <&Logan> (( oh my god ))
  324. [06:52.16] * Josh suddenly stares at the door
  325. [06:52.33] <~myto_alkoreath> Framed in silhouette in the doorway stands an extremely tall, heavy man, pointing straight at you
  326. [06:52.42] <~myto_alkoreath> He is wearing extremely tight clothing
  327. [06:52.45] * Jason 's head WHIPS to the left as the door's kicked in. Oh shit jesus, someone followed them here!

  330. [06:53.26] <~myto_alkoreath> The big man is completely unarmed

  380. [07:01.01] * Jason pushes his sword into one hand, holding the other out open-palmed. "Kroked! Calm down dude, listen, I know you're in a place right now but /this dude speaks English/. You realize what that means right???"
  381. [07:01.24] <~Matt> "WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?"
  382. [07:01.57] <~Matt> A loud smack is heard as he armed man outside facepalms
  383. [07:02.03] <~Josh> "...o-oh, OH shit shit right"
  384. [07:02.34] * Josh backs up and puts his hands up "I am so sorry I'm just... i have not had a good day"
  385. [07:02.56] <~Matt> Logan: You have seen this insanity go down
  386. [07:03.03] <~Matt> This is a weird day
  387. [07:03.27] <Jason> (( My BGM: +http://listenonrepeat.com/?v=EsXkHRN7qBY#Yakitate!!_Japan_OST_-_Minami_Tokyo_Shiten_no_Sesta, ))
  388. [07:03.27] <~Matt> "Yeah, well neither have I, and you don't see me pointing swords at people"
  389. [07:03.30] * Josh backs back into the room next to Jason
  390. [07:03.43] * Matt dusts off and relaxes a bit
  391. [07:03.50] <~Josh> "Did youg et forced to murder a guy?"
  392. [07:03.54] <~Josh> " I /did/"
  393. [07:04.05] <~Josh> *you get forced
  394. [07:04.14] <~Matt> "No, I found out that everyone home is fucking dead"
  395. [07:04.18] * Josh is still wound pretty tight, but is slowly uncoiling
  396. [07:04.20] * Jason sets the sword down on the counter, heading over now. "Hold on now it wasn't murder! It was a justifiable homicide."
  397. [07:04.31] * Logan clears his throat, "Um... Wow. Not the 'introduction' I was expecting after finding these p-"
  398. [07:04.40] <~Josh> "I guesss- wait dead what?"
  399. [07:05.02] <Jason> (( BTW Myto this is random but I'm gonna upgrade that order to Partial Plate instead of a Breastplate if that's cool with you! ))
  400. [07:05.11] <~Matt> Jason and Josh, you also now notice that the man is... wearing what appears to be a large snake. Its adorable
  401. [07:05.20] <~Matt> ((Alright))
  402. [07:05.51] * Josh is a little too focused on the whole people being dead bit
  403. [07:06.10] <~Matt> "Yeah, fucking dead. I'm guessing you guys heard a song and woke up naked in the woods? Same with me, but Logan's different. Tell them Logan"
  404. [07:06.38] <~Josh> "lo- HOLY SHIT LOGAN"
  405. [07:06.57] <&Logan> "Yeah, uh. Do I really have to exp-" stopping mid sentence, "Josh? Holy shit."
  406. [07:06.58] * Josh blinks as he stares and see's... logan, he's seen and hung out with him for real several times
  407. [07:07.12] <~Josh> "Oh shit you ended up here to? Fuck"
  408. [07:07.14] * Jason wobbles a little where he stands. Oh man, there's so much going on.
  409. [07:07.22] <&Logan> "Yeah.."
  410. [07:07.26] * Josh gestures at Jason "This is IM!"
  411. [07:07.37] * Jason puts up a limp-wristed wave. "Yo."
  412. [07:07.38] <~Josh> "Wpw and zef are here too! i mean not here here"
  413. [07:07.42] <~Josh> "But they're in town"
  414. [07:07.45] <~Matt> "Wait"
  415. [07:07.52] <Jason> "Well this is all just getting weirder and weirder by the second."
  416. [07:07.59] * Logan nods in agreement
  417. [07:08.03] <&Logan> "What?"
  418. [07:08.15] <~Matt> "WPW and Zef? Those sound like the usernames of guys on this IRC chat I used to go on"
  419. [07:08.46] <~Matt> Jason: Something clicks in your head at his voice now
  420. [07:08.52] <~Josh> "...whatw a syours?"
  421. [07:09.01] <~Josh> *what was yours
  422. [07:09.08] * Jason snaps his fingers. "Oh! Haha, Myto! HOLY SHIT YES JA2 TOTALLY PAID OFF."
  423. [07:09.18] <~Josh> "Oh shit!"
  424. [07:09.30] * Matt is horribly confused"
  425. [07:09.31] * Jason does a weird little dance. "Hahaha I fucking knew it and-- YOU!" He jabs an accusatory finger at Logan. "YOU NEVER RECORDED YOUR LINES."
  426. [07:09.42] <~Josh> "...oh fuck now I'm even more sorry, jesus Myto I almost took your fucking head off!"
  427. [07:09.46] <~Matt> "Lines... IM?"
  428. [07:09.47] <&Logan> (( I FUCKING KNEW IT. ))
  429. [07:09.50] * Jason thinks. "Oh my god, is /that/ the connection!? Everybody's... A fucking MMOcenary!"
  430. [07:10.00] * Jason throws his head back and laughs.
  431. [07:10.09] <~Josh> "...shit we alla re"
  432. [07:10.20] <~Matt> "Wait so if you're IM, and I'm guesing you're Kroked... who the hell is Logan?"
  433. [07:10.57] <~Josh> "Syth!"
  434. [07:10.59] * Jason clucks his tongue. "That's Syth. See, you'd know this if you actually did anything on Facebook," he jokes.
  435. [07:11.10] <Jason> (( I love this song for our social encounters. XD ))
  436. [07:11.19] * Matt looks at Logan, recognition dawning on his face
  437. [07:11.24] <~Matt> "Ohhhhhhhh"
  438. [07:11.30] <&Logan> "Wait, are you serious?" noticing the finger point and line refence, "Yeah..yeah, yeah. I know."
  439. [07:12.13] * Jason gives a huff. "Well hang on, the blacksmith dude's gonna be back any second now... Uhh, come on in I guess? Jesus, have you guys been in town for a while?" He retreats back to the counter.
  440. [07:12.19] * Josh looks at logan and notices something else "Heyw ait..."
  441. [07:12.28] <~Josh> "Hey Logan you have clothes"
  442. [07:12.36] <~Josh> "like.... earth clothes"
  443. [07:12.48] * Jason stops, turning around to look. And holy shit, Logan /does/ in fact have clothes. "... What the..."
  444. [07:13.12] <&Logan> "Umm..yeah. Like Matt said, I was supposedly the only one transported here with my worldly possessions."
  445. [07:13.22] <&Logan> "Including my clothes."
  446. [07:13.36] <~Matt> "No, not long. I basically used my magic, which I apparently now have after little Miraculum here opened my spirit vessel, to find the closest people with the "From Earth" description
  447. [07:13.41] <~Josh> "...ok so wait, you didnt come in like us?"
  448. [07:13.47] * Matt snuggles the snake thing he is wearing
  449. [07:14.04] <~Josh> "What happened.... whyw as Myto saying everyone back home is... dead?"
  450. [07:14.12] <&Logan> "Nope."
  451. [07:14.27] * Jason decides Johan might be just a bit longer, and scuttles over to Matt, leaning down to have a good look at Miraculum. "Aw man, look at you!" He glances up. "Did you name him or did he name himself?"
  452. [07:14.29] <&Logan> "Well, that's because..they are."
  453. [07:14.50] <&Logan> "Assuming I'm remembering correctly."
  454. [07:14.53] <~Josh> "...what happened dude?"
  455. [07:15.04] <~Matt> "Named him myself. I hummed him into existence with a creation. song... thing"
  456. [07:15.41] * Jason chews on his lower lip, looking past Matt and Logan at their companion. "Guys, maybe this isn't the best stuff to be discussing out in public... The gal Kroked and I came in with gave us some money for an inn room, maybe we can talk later?"
  457. [07:15.54] * Jason doesn't actually consider the fact that nobody else in the city understands English BUT HEY.
  458. [07:15.59] * Logan sighs, "Can we discuss it later?"
  459. [07:16.29] <~Josh> "...yeah ok"
  460. [07:16.46] * Matt turns to Gerald, and discusses getting a place at the Inn with him. Gerald sighs and aquiesces
  461. [07:17.06] * MobileDmntt (ReasonableDaemo@ARG-zOmBiE-l3ktra.us.northamericancoax.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  462. [07:17.13] <~Matt> "Oh and this is Gerald. He found me in the woods and has been having a really weird day
  463. [07:17.58] <~Matt> The other man waves from outside. He appears to be talking... something like German you're not sure
  464. [07:18.10] <&Logan> "Heh. I think we all have from the way things are going?"
  465. [07:18.39] <~Matt> Matt and Logan seem to have no difficulty understanding him however
  466. [07:19.19] <~Josh> "...huh, I don't understand a word this guy is speaking... but it sounds kinda like..."
  467. [07:19.32] * Josh glances at Jason
  468. [07:19.40] * Jason gives a nod.
  469. [07:19.51] <Jason> "... Probably best to talk about it later."
  470. [07:20.17] * Jason heads back to the counter for now, awaiting Johan's return to close out the deals of their transaction.
  471. [07:20.28] <~Josh> "Yeah"
  472. [07:20.48] <~Matt> "Well, we're going to go get some rooms at the inn nearby. Meet you there later to discuss this more?
  473. [07:21.41] <~Josh> "Yeah... sure"
  474. [07:21.49] * Jason turns to face the door, giving a thumbs up. "Sounds like a plan." He's not really mentally exhausted, just... There's an awful lot to process and he's just been kinda trudging blindly forward without taking any time to think about it.
  475. [07:22.24] <~Matt> Logan: Stay at the weaponshop a bit more, or follow Matt to the inn
  476. [07:22.45] * Josh is simmilar but different, he's trudging forward blindly alright, but he can't stop thinking about it, about everything, he probably won't sleepw ell tonight
  477. [07:24.59] <&Logan> "You mentioned something about money for an inn, IM?"
  478. [07:25.03] <&Logan> ((OOF))
  479. [07:25.07] <&Logan> ((had it scrolled))
  480. [07:25.16] <&Logan> Following matt
  481. [07:25.43] <&Logan> actually, gonna stay at the weaponshop
  482. [07:26.39] <~Matt> Matt and Gerald depart for the inn, while Logan, Jason and Josh remain at the shop
  483. [07:26.47] <~Matt> Finally, Johan returns
  484. [07:27.04] * Jason gives a wave. "Welcome back!"
  485. [07:27.16] <~Matt> "Sorry, my cellar door is quite thick, there was a bit of a jam. Did I hear yelling?"
  486. [07:27.30] <~Matt> Johan notices the new customer
  487. [07:27.46] * Logan waves, "Uh, hi."
  488. [07:27.48] <~Matt> "Ahh, welcome to Johan's. Friend of Jason's?"
  489. [07:27.49] <~Josh> "Uhm, we simply met some friends"
  490. [07:28.04] * Jason chuckles, waving a hand. "Ahh, some friends of ours came by actually." He follows Johan's gaze. "Ah! Yes he is... Logan, this is Johan. Johan, Logan. And that's Josh."
  491. [07:28.13] <Jason> (( PING PING PING PINGPINGPING. XD ))
  492. [07:28.18] <&Logan> (( XD ))
  493. [07:28.18] * Josh nods
  494. [07:29.07] <~Matt> "Perfect. Well I didn't find a breastplate, but I did find this old set of partial plate"
  495. [07:29.33] <~Matt> "Its quite valuable, but its more of an investment in my eyes"
  496. [07:30.49] <~Matt> He hands it to you. Its quite heavy
  497. [07:31.05] <~Matt> "Why not try it on. That way I can make any adjustments needed"
  498. [07:31.57] * Jason gives a nod. "Well, that's certainly more than I expected... But you know what, there's a lot to be said about protecting more than just your vitals." He looks back. "Could one of you guys give me a hand?" Having assistance with donning armor was pretty much a must - doing it by yourself was a real pain in the ass and a half.
  499. [07:32.39] * Josh rushes to help
  500. [07:33.11] <&Logan> "Oop. Yeah, no can do on my end, sorry. Would if I could though."
  501. [07:33.52] * Jason laughs. "Aw c'mon, it's just a bunch of buckles and straps.. Man, Velcro and zippers made this so much easier." He has experience donning armor from his fencing gear - though the actual mechanics are different, the principles are the same.
  502. [07:34.44] * Josh helps bit by bit
  503. [07:34.51] * Logan chuckles, "Aahh, yeah, I can imagine. Unfortunately, I don't do a lot of heavy lifting, soo."
  504. [07:35.09] <&Logan> "Or anything...yknow."
  505. [07:35.30] <&Logan> "In this kind of line of work. I guess."
  506. [07:36.19] * YYAP (quassel@ARG-zOmBiE-rmd3st.il.comcast.net) has joined channel #Phaedraproblems
  507. [07:36.51] <~Matt> Johan sighs
  508. [07:36.53] <&Logan> "Granted it is straps. Haha."
  509. [07:37.05] * Jason quickly finds himself suited up. It's not the most comprehensive affair, but great for a starting adventurer - a breastplate, pauldrons, gauntlets, greaves, and a fauld to protect the hips and thighs. He moves around a bit, doing some stretches and basic calisthenics.
  510. [07:37.34] * Jason looks to Logan, eyebrows lifted. "Well... Far as we can figure, we're in this to stay. Who even knows how long. Maybe hours, maybe decades, y'know? Best get all in man."
  511. [07:37.48] <~Matt> Jason: It definitely needs a few adjustments, but is already an excellent fit
  512. [07:37.57] <&Logan> "Yeah, you have a point there.."
  513. [07:38.08] <~Matt> Johan flutters about, making a series of measurements
  514. [07:38.27] <~Josh> "Damn... looking good"
  515. [07:38.53] * Jason laughs. "I'm starting to feel like a real hero," he says, speaking in Long now - as he just remembered Johan can't understand English. Logan can't understand him though.
  516. [07:39.00] <Jason> (( LANGUAGES ARE COMPLICATED. ))
  517. [07:39.17] <~Matt> "Alright. Well, if you'll leave the armor here I'll make the adjustments overnight. You'll be able to pick it up in the morning"
  518. [07:39.29] * YYAnon (quassel@ARG-zOmBiE-rmd3st.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  519. [07:39.43] * Josh thanks Johan in long "Also, would you ahve any sort of armor of a lighter variety?"
  520. [07:40.48] <~Matt> Hmm, I'll have to root around a bit, but I'm sure I can come up with a selection by tomorrow when you come by to pick up the partial plate
  521. [07:40.54] * Jason gives a nod, working on taking off the armor, setting each piece up on the counter. "Ah- Do you have some kind of a wrap that could be used for the sword? Given my stature I can't rightly sheathe it any way..." He smiles at Josh's request for armor, looking Logan's way and gesturing at a far rack.
  522. [07:41.10] * Pikachujc (Pikachujc@ARG-zOmBiE-eqv3uo.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Connection closed)
  523. [07:41.14] <Jason> "Even if you're not looking to strap on some medieval knight shit, one of those leather longcoats would probably be better than a t-shirt against swords and shit."
  524. [07:42.11] <~Josh> "Yeah... oh shit right... i also need something to sheath mys word..."
  525. [07:42.30] <~Josh> "...Not sure how you'd go about that though..."
  526. [07:42.34] <~Matt> Johan hands Jason a large sword wrap
  527. [07:42.56] * Josh says looking at his sword, which is... interesting, seeing as it's name is pretty literal
  528. [07:43.12] <&Logan> "Hm.. Maybe, but I think I'm come back later if I need to."
  529. [07:43.15] <~Josh> it is a 17 branched sword
  530. [07:43.55] <&Logan> I'll*
  531. [07:44.05] * Jason sets to work wrapping up the blade, admiring the craftsmanship on it before resting it over a shoulder. "Right, right. We'll be back here for sure tomorrow, we'll bring everyone around if there's time." He laughs, looking at Johan. "As luck might have it, you may be making quite a lot of sales soon!"
  532. [07:44.11] <&Logan> ((derp got distracted with talk from roommate))
  533. [07:44.37] <~Matt> Johan looks at Josh's sword and halfheartedly passes him a sword wrap as well
  534. [07:44.56] <~Matt> "I'm honestly not sure how you would sheathe that"
  535. [07:44.58] * Josh smiles sheepishly and wraps it up... it's a mess and doesnt workw ell
  536. [07:45.03] <&Logan> "That's...a bit extravagent."
  537. [07:45.15] <~Josh> "Well... maybe we could work together to find out?"
  538. [07:45.44] * Jason laughs, shaking his head as he sets the greatsword down and tries to assist Josh. "We might have better luck finding a guitar case for this guy!"
  539. [07:45.45] <~Matt> "I look forward to it. Now I must get to work on this armor. I'll see you all in the morning"
  540. [07:46.08] * Josh nods
  541. [07:46.23] <~Matt> All: Leave shop?
  542. [07:46.39] <&Logan> y
  543. [07:46.52] <Jason> Yes.
  544. [07:46.54] <~Josh> y
  545. [07:47.01] <~Matt> Alright:
  546. [07:47.55] <~Matt> You all leave the shop and head towards the inn. A night of many questions and answers shall await you all
